What I’m doing now
This is a 'now' page—a response to the question "so, what are you up to?" This is how I'm spending my time now.
Updated September 24th, 2023, from Helsinki.
My writing priority is The Elite, Antigravity Racing League #3
I write every morning. Currently, I'm finalising the third book in the Antigravity Racing League series. On the side, I have a few short story ideas I'm exploring, along with the occasional poem. I've also outlined the next novel, a rockstar's story in the Captain Rasputin universe.
Meeting people
I'm hosting regular two-hour cocktail parties for old and new friends, under the banner of Random Cocktails and Icebreakers Party. (The last one was just a couple of week's ago.) I'm also curious about trying out new social concepts, and am always happy to meet old and new friends, and potential co-conspirators. Ping me for a lunch / coffee / drinks / cultural events, if you're in Helsinki!
Supple strength
To keep this middle-aged body young, I'm doing strength training and yoga (ashtanga, vinyasa flow, hatha) both three times a week, and adding some random movement like tennis, badminton, running or trekking. To keep my mind supple and strong, I do daily meditation in the evenings.
Imitating Slash
I still have the Telecaster tuned down half a step and practicing playing Sweet Child o' Mine, November Rain, Don't Cry, Estranged, and the likes… I just love the guitar melodies on those songs—they take me back to the teenage years when I had more hair and less experience.
Living in Helsinki, Finland
At the moment I'm settled with in Helsinki, where my son goes to school. Moving to Australia is never far on the planning horizon, but at the moment, I have no immediate plans of moving.
